Wolves v Aston Villa: match preview | Football

[ad_1]

Wolves did the double over their West Midlands rivals last season but are gripped by uncertainty as they prepare to host an Aston Villa side who have been strong away from home so far. Nuno Espírito Santo had been trying to develop his team’s style of play even before suffering the most unwelcome of complications, the loss of Raul Jiménez to injury. Villa, though deprived of Ross Barkley, are more settled and will aim to exploit and add to Wolves’ difficulties. Paul Doyle
